Several years ago, my dear friend Dahlia invited me to visit Mother Meera, a woman who’s been proclaimed as the embodiment of the Divine Mother. She travels the world offering darshan.
At the time, attending a spiritual event like this was strange and unfamiliar, but I was curious, and trusted Dahlia enough to go along for the ride.
It was strange, indeed. We gathered in a church and sat in wooden pews as a man at the front quietly explained how it would happen: one at a time, we would approach Mother Meera. She would place her hands on our heads, then look into our eyes for a few seconds. No one would speak.
During this silent darshan, Mother Meera would be “untying the knots” in our subtle energy and infusing us with light.
I knelt silently in a long line behind Dahlia, shuffling forward as the next person finished. When it was my turn, I bowed my head. Mother Meera placed her hands on my hair. Then I looked into her warm brown eyes for just a moment.
The whole experience lasted perhaps thirty seconds.
I didn’t feel anything profound, even though I wanted to. Still, it planted a quiet seed in me.
Back then, I was focused on growing my online businesses, chasing strategy, efficiency and profit. It was sweet for this woman to offer a spiritual transmission (if that’s what she was doing), but I didn’t get how it could be done in complete silence – without teachings, lectures or a price tag.
But now, years later, Mother Meera is something of a role model for me.
She showed me the possibility of silent awakening, and that possibility has grown within me.
What if simply being present with someone could awaken them?
I’ve come to see that presence itself can be transformational. The stillness. The listening. The absence of judgement. It’s naturally settling and people’s natural wisdom comes forth on its own.
As a coach and mentor, I’ve seen this in action. My clients have breakthroughs not because I’m teachingi something, but because we’re sitting in the space of clarity and connection where insights naturally emerge.
The same thing happens inside the IMPACT membership. We gather not just to learn or network or grow our businesses (although we do all that) – we gather to remember who we are and to create from that place of joy.
As one member put it:
“I show up and feel like I receive a calm, grounding, insightful experience each time.”
And the results aren’t just internal. Afterward, people take actions they’ve been procrastinating. They share a message or make a sale.
Silent awakening isn’t just about feeling good (even though it feels amazing!) – it inspires joyful action.
Here are some recent posts from the IMPACT Creators forum:
This is the “quiet revolution” I live for, where the spiritual and business play so very nicely together.
If you’ve been craving an experience that’s gentle, real and powerfully creative, I invite you to join us in the IMPACT membership and experience it for yourself.
And yes, that 1:1 bonus session I mentioned is still available. There’s one spot left for the next person to join.
